Bonding - Bonding is a popular temporary weaving method that adds volume and streaks of colour to natural hair.

Tracks of hair are glued to the roots of your own hair..

Extensions can be removed by soaking hair with bond remover or oil sheen for a few minutes to prevent damage to the hairs natural follicles.

Tracking - Natural tresses are braided around the hair in concentric circles. The braids are sewn down , then extensions are sewn to the braids. Eight to fifteen tracks are needed for a full head.

For this weave hair should be changed every two months or every time you get a relaxer, since it will loosen up as your hair grows out.

Fusion - Fusion involves the use of a machine similar to a hot glue gun used to adhere human hair extensions to individual strands of natural hair (about the same size as a micro braid).

With a fusion weave hair can be washed every week.

Netting - This technique involves braiding natural tresses under a thin, breathable net that serves as a flat surface onto which extensions can be weaved.

The style can last for up to three months if properly maintained.
Clem’s Career

Clem LueYat has had an exceptional record in the beauty business. His most recent achievement occurred on August 5, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia, when HairWeb.com, at their first awards ceremony, presented LueYat with an award for his outstanding achievements in the hair industry.

In 1999, his life-long dream to be a hairstylist at the Miss Universe pageant was realised when the contest was held in T&T. In addition to other contestants in the show, he also styled the hair of winner Mpule Kwelagobe, Miss Botswana, and the first runner up, Miss Philippines, as well as three of the top 10 finalists.

In fact Kwelagobe remains one of his clients up to today.

LueYat moved from high fashion hairstyles of the 1960s, to Jherri curls in the 70s, creating his own Unique Interlocking Hair Weave System in the 80s and then his Wrap Net Weaving System in the 90s.

These accomplishments have helped LueYat earn the title “The Master Hair Weaver of the World.”

LueYat continues to teach and influence hundreds of hairstylists in the USA, T&T and other countries. He holds classes on a monthly basis at his Brooklyn salon and travels to other locations to hold workshops.

Clem’s career in hair began at the age of 13 “when French rolls and the ‘flip’ were in style,” he remembers. His eldest sister, an apprentice at a salon, asked him to pin her hair in an up-do. That is how he began his hair dressing career.

The rest is history.

LueYat has also served as a personal stylist for Miss Universe 1977, Janelle Commissiong-Chow, and her fashion shows. He has weaved and styled the hair of celebrities such as comedian/actress, Kim Coles (of the sitcom, Living Single), actress N’bushe Wright (of the movie Fresh and New York Undercover), and Stephanie Pope, who starred in the Broadway production of FOSSE and HBO’s OZ.
